[ausev] Q: about water miser caps

[William Gooch]

Be aware that you may find a certain amount of variation in available 
depth below the caps on the Trojan 1275s.  When I installed my Pro-Fill 
battery watering system (a great convenience by the way, and they don't 
leak at all), I found that some of the caps fit on mine and some didn't, 
and on following up with the vendor, they checked and found out that 
Pro-Fill had recently changed the type of cap they provide for these 
batteries, to account for the variation.  When looking into the 
batteries, I can see that some of them have just the vertical plates 
showing beneath the cap, and some have thick lead going across above the 
plates, which is apparently what interferes with the cap depth.  It 
seems that this is just due to inconsistencies in the battery manufacture.
